[ILQSO] Turning off Dupe-Checking in the ILQP

[Eric Lorenz K9LGE]

Perhaps I should clarify. When I say dupe checking turned 
off...originally, his QP programs were not set up to allow multi-county 
contact in any way. This was discovered when the ILQP added that class- 
he then modified the program so that it would still show you and warn 
you they were dupes, but would allow you to enter them if you insisted. 
So it still does dupe checking, but allows you to override. Clearer? :-)
